Summary of Problem

I accidentally called a paren-less function (Math.INFINITY) with parentheses and that lead the following internal compiler error.

foo.chpl:1: internal error: RES-ALI-0241 chpl version 1.26.0
Note: This source location is a guess.

Internal errors indicate a bug in the Chapel compiler ("It's us, not you"),
and we're sorry for the hassle.  We would appreciate your reporting this bug --
please see https://chapel-lang.org/bugs.html for instructions.  In the meantime,
the filename + line number above may be useful in working around the issue.

Steps to Reproduce

Source Code:

writeln(INFINITY());

Compile command:

chpl foo.chpl

Execution command:

N/A because compile error
